I Refuse to Become Scumbag in Tokyo

Chapter 292 - Scumbag Is Made

Shishio didn't expect that Rui would transfer to his school so suddenly, but even so, it didn't mean that he was going to focus on her. After all, even though they had lost their virginity together, he had girlfriends in this school, and he needed to give his priority right.

'It's just... I wonder how she'll react.'

Shishio shook his head and thought that it was better to think about this matter later.

"What's wrong, Shishio-kun?" Ritsu asked.

"It just feels like it's been a while since we've been home together," Shishio said.

"Well, that's true..." Ritsu also felt that it had been a while since they had gone back together, even though they often went home together. Still, this change made her quite lonely even though she had expected this matter.

"Bye, Miu, Nana, Maiko, and Mea. Let's go back, Shishio, Ritsu, Saki," Shiina said.

Looking at Shiina for a moment, Shishio thought that this girl didn't come to his room last night, but because of that, his relationship with Roberta became even closer. However, he just wasn't sure how to explain this matter yet. Still, unexpectedly, they might accept this matter quickly since they might think it would be weird if Roberta didn't have a relationship with him.

If so, Shishio was happy that they could accept his relationship with Roberta. However, he felt conflicted about their image of him since he was sure that they saw him as a scumbag. Still, he wasn't going to pretend or be a hypocrite that he wasn't one.

'What's the use of reputation compared to their happiness?'

Shishio felt that it didn't really matter, even if he was known as a scumbag as long as he could make all of them happy.

They were about to part to go back, but suddenly someone called his name out.

"Oga-kun!"

They turned their heads and saw Tachibana Hina, who came, waving her hand toward him. Looking at her boobs that were moving around, each of them had a different kind of reaction. Still, Nana was bigger.

"What's wrong, Tachibana-sensei?" Shishio asked curiously.

Hina didn't think too much when she saw that Shishio was surrounded by many girls and asked, "Have you met Rui-chan?"

"I met her on my break earlier." Shishio nodded.

"Really? Then please take care of her, alright? She's quite awkward after all," Hina said. Still, she felt that Shishio was working too fast, right? She didn't tell him that Rui had transferred to this school before, which was why she didn't expect that they had met each other.

"I think it is a bit hard, Sensei. After all, we're from a different grade, and don't you believe in your little sister, Sensei?" Shishio said. It wasn't that he didn't want to help Rui, but there was a time and occasion, right? If he agreed directly in front of his girlfriends, it would be troublesome to explain what was going on between him and Rui. If he was free, it was all good, but he had something to do after this.

"Hmm... that's true, but you can even befriend a lot of beautiful girls like this," Hina said as she observed all the girls around Shishio for a moment. "So, what's the problem with befriending one more girl?"

"..." Shishio.

"Alright, that's all. Thank you, alright?" Hina left with a cheerful tone.

"..."

Shishio stared at Hina and thought that this woman was sharper than he had thought, but at the same time, he was wondering whether this woman came to give him trouble.

"Shishio, who is this Rui?" Nana asked as she wrapped her hand around his neck.

Shishio could see that everyone was looking at him, but even so, his expression didn't change much, and he said, "Did you remember a week ago when I'd told you that I was going to help my friend?" Still, once again, he realized how big Nana's size was when her two melons were pressed against his arms.

"You mean that friend is this Rui?" Saki asked with a frown. She might be the only one who had seen Rui, and at the same time, she just wanted to know why there seemed to be something special between Rui and Shishio, even though they were just friends.

"Yes." Shishio nodded. "That friend is Rui."

"How did you know her?" Miu asked.

Shishio thought for a moment and said, "How about we talk as we walk?"

They nodded directly since it wasn't good to talk while they were still in the shoe locker area, and there were many people who passed this area, so if they stayed there for a long time, they might cause trouble. As for being the center of attention, even though some people still stared at them, especially girls since they were looking at Shishio, most of the students had gotten used to their group, so they didn't say much.

They either went to the club or went home directly since they were just practically strangers.

Still, Hikigaya Hachiman had to admit that the world was really unfair since Shishio's life was practically a sultan in real life. If Shishio was the protagonist, then he was just a background character whose face was too lazy to be drawn by the author.

'Well, it's not like we will get to know each other.'

Considering how he was at school, Hikigaya didn't think that he would know Shishio in life, so he didn't think too much and went home since he didn't want to stare at his group any longer. It wasn't that he hated Shishio or anything, but he was just jealous.

Taking out his phone, Hikigaya then decided to check the school forum that had just appeared a few days ago, and he had to admit that this forum was quite interesting. With how much free time he had, this forum was a good way to spend his free time.

'Should I create a discussion about 'Go explode, Riajuu!'?' Hikigaya thought that it was a good idea.

---

Shishio had to admit that as long as it would create convenience for the harem protagonist and his heroines to meet or talk to each other, adding more settings nearby the school had always been a common thing.

Shrine, convenience store, karaoke, arcade, bench, beach, and any other places were always added to the setting of the story, depending on the situation.

Still, it was impossible to add a beach since they were at Shinjuku, which was a landlocked area, but it was still possible to add a park.

Shishio was sitting on the bench, looking at the girls who chose a drink from the vending machine. He looked at Shiina, who was sitting next to him, sipping her drink silently. "What did you drink, Mashiro?"

"Apple juice." Shiina looked at Shishio and asked, "What about you?"

"Pepsi."

"Can I try?"

"I don't mind."

Shiina took the Pepsi from Shishio's hand and sipped it gently. Her expression turned weird since her tongue was a bit uncomfortable because of the frizzy feeling from the Pepsi.

"You don't like it?" Shishio asked with a laugh. Still, looking at her red and cute tongue, his pants were a bit tight.

Shiina was a bit unhappy when she heard his laugh, but looking at this smile, she decided to forgive him. "Do you want to try mine?"

"Is it delicious?"

"It's okay."

"Let me try it then." Shishio sipped Shiina's apple juice and could feel the artificial sweetener on his tongue, and there wasn't any real apple on the beverage, but even so, it was alright and tasted quite good.

"Okay, okay, enough flirting since we have an important discussion here!" Maiko's words made everyone focus on the matter that they were about to talk about.

"Well, you're curious about Rui, right?"

"Um." Everyone nodded, and they were just wondering who Rui was. Of course, it might be only their instinct, but they felt that Shishio treated Rui a bit special, which made them curious and slightly jealous.

Nana, Miu, Saki, and Shiina didn't feel jealous since they were Shishio's girlfriends, but Mea, Maiko, and Ritsu felt slightly jealous, even though they didn't know reason. However, if they had to say the reason, it might be because some girl they didn't know suddenly got close to him. They might not understand why they felt this feeling, but they just didn't really like it.

If the girls had a big status like Nana, Yukinoshita, Shiina, or Sakurajima Mai, they might not say much, but Rui was a normal girl with a cute face. If they talked about who was cuter, then Mai and Maiko felt that they were cuter.

Ritsu wasn't as narcissistic as Mai and Maiko, but she was also quite curious about Rui since she also had heard about the new cute transfer student from the next class.

Still, they knew that their feelings were quite unreasonable and they shouldn't have these kinds of feelings. But even so, they hoped that Shishio could take care of their friends dearly and not befriend other girls randomly.

"As I have told you before, Rui is my friend, but she's my first friend in Tokyo," Shishio said.

"First friend?!" They were surprised when they heard Shishio's answer.

Shishio then told them his first time meeting Rui and how they became friends with each other. As for how they lost their virginity together, he decided to keep that matter a secret for now. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell them, but this matter also included Rui, and he felt that it was too selfish to tell this matter directly without Rui's consent.

Hearing their answer, they somehow felt relief since Shishio's relationship with Rui wasn't something that they had imagined, and at the same time, they also understood why the way he treated Rui was a bit special than others.

However, if they knew the real reason, then they might not be surprised by Shishio's treatment.

Unfortunately, it might take a while before they know the real reason.

With this matter resolved, they decided to go back since Shishio had something to do, and he returned to Sakurasou with Saki, Shiina, and Ritsu.

"Are you going somewhere tonight?" Saki asked.

"Yes, I'm going to Ikebukuro," Shishio said.

"Ikebukuro?" 3x

Shiina, Saki, and Ritsu showed a different reaction. If Saki and Ritsu were surprised, then Shiina was confused since she didn't know what kind of place it was.

"What are you doing there? That place is dangerous, you know?" Saki asked with a frown.

"I have heard that there is a Color Gang, Drug Dealer, Kidnapper, Yakuza, and various other strange people there, you know?" Ritsu said.

Shiina pulled Shishio's sleeve off his sweater, thinking that he was doing something dangerous again.

"You're so exaggerated. This is Japan, you know? We're in one of the safest places on earth. While it is true that Ikebukuro might have been dangerous in the past, it has become a peaceful place now. Also, next time, don't show such prejudice against something. We might need to be careful against something if we hear something bad about them, but it doesn't mean that everything about it is bad. You might see something unexpected there," Shishio said.

Ritsu was a bit unacceptable that she was being reprimanded, so she asked, "Oh? For example? What is the unexpected thing that you can see from something bad?"

"..."

Shishio looked at Ritsu for a moment and said, "It's you, Ritsu-senpai."

"Huh? Me?" Ritsu was bewildered.

"Yeah." Shishio nodded. "Remember the first time we met each other? You were so rude at that time that you directly told me to move away. You ignored a lot of people so you could read your book. You even hit my nose at that time and caused me to have a nosebleed. I can list a lot of your bad points, but you might not be able to accept it if I list all of them." Still, if this girl wasn't cute, he wouldn't even bother to talk with her.

Unlike guys who could still work hard by getting a lot of money or tried to work their talents so they could become famous people, even if their appearance wasn't good, as long as they had either of them, they could still get a beautiful woman.

However, if a woman had an ugly appearance, it was over. Even if they had money or talent, the guys wouldn't love them fully. It was cruel, but the world was like that, and it was also the reason why a lot of women's products such as make-up and other things were profitable. Still, there had always been an exception, though it might be quite hard.

"Ugh..." Ritsu couldn't say anything, and her face was a bit sad when she heard that Shishio had a lot of bad opinions about her, especially when he still remembered when she hit his nose on the riverbank before.

Shiina and Saki didn't say anything since they were quite interested in their conversation.

"Still, after we got to know each other. I see a lot of wonderful things about you," Shishio said.

"Huh?!" Ritsu was startled again.

"First, you're gentle. Even though you're so awkward and aren't good with people, you often try to help them in your own way. Second, you have a cute reaction that it is fun to see you react. There are also---"

"Stop! Stop!" Ritsu's face was so red, and she tried to cover Shishio's mouth.

Shishio still tried to talk even if his mouth was covered, which made Ritsu even more embarrassed.

"...." Shiina and Saki rolled their eyes, but neither of them said anything since they weren't blind.

"But what are you doing there?" Saki asked.

Shishio moved Ritsu's hand away, ignoring Ritsu, whose face was so red when he held her hand, and said, "You know about my forum, right?" When they nodded, he let go of Ritsu's hands to her disappointment, then continued with his explanation. "I have made a deal with someone from the 2nd grade to help me promote the forum, so repay this person. I have to accompany this person to Ikebukuro. As for whether this place is dangerous or not, you don't need to worry, alright?"

They nodded, but then Ritsu asked, "Shishio, why you're so fixed with this forum? You know, even if you don't make a deal, this forum is bound to be popular sooner or later. You don't need to be in a hurry, right?"

Shishio wasn't surprised by Ritsu's question, but he needed this forum to go viral as soon as possible. However, he couldn't tell the reason, or rather, he wasn't sure whether they could believe him since his reason to make this forum go viral as soon as possible was to help a girl.

"Well, you know, I have another plan after I have finished with this forum."

"Another plan?" 3x

They looked at Shishio curiously, and somehow they wanted to see the inside of his head since he had too much of an idea, right?

"I'll keep it a secret for now since it won't be fun, alright?"

Shishio didn't tell them too much and returned to Sakurasou, changed his clothes, and read to pick up Ebina Hina before they went to Ikebukuro, but before he walked out, Chihiro suddenly stopped him.

"Shishio, can we talk for a bit?"

"....."

Shishio was wondering how many times Chihiro had asked him to talk.
